But he has been actively promoted as Presidential timber. That wasn't his job tonight, so I can agree with the admonitions about making fun of the fat guy.

But if he were seeking the presidency, his morbid obesity would very definitely be an issue. Not something to make fun of, but it is an obvious health concern.

And I agree many people have trouble controlling their eating. Many people have anger problems. Many people have drinking problems. Those are all things of concern when considering a person for the most powerful position in the world.
